Quarl's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[atomsmasha - tuff sick]

Yeah babe. I'd fuck to this.

[[Aether] - DHMR]

Nuero ftw. Lovin that phat bass. Just wish it was a little longer but I guess that comes with the territory of "last minute."

[Leon Kennedy voice demo]

Fun recording to stumble on. I've been sampling the merchant from resident evil 4 in my tracks lately. "WHAT ARE YOU BUYIN?"

Nothing. I just stopped by to say hi and leave you a crappy review. Nothing will be purchased.

Wegra responds:

Well your rating makes it a passable review :P

[Mihai Sorohan - Dopamine]

I loved your synths, really awesome variety in them! Help me out, I forget what program your using? Drum kit was kind of flat for a dubstep track. I'm not sure how you go about things but when I'm making a dance genre I always nail the drums before doing anything... actually, that standard holds for 100% of the things I play with. Drums first! Fatten that snare up :3

Cheers Soro!

sorohanro responds:

There were at least 3 drum sets there :( I guess I just don't know how to drums.

The main DAW is MuLab, but the drums were some DrumCore + some separate kick and snare + the room and overheads from some rock kit from ezDrummer.

Thanks for review, highly appreciated.

[Kill the Cagemaster!]

Damn this is some old school techy stuff. Love that dark atmosphere. Synths and pads were really cool. Only thing about the track I disagreed with was some minor EQ of the snare drum but it seems like everyone has their own snare preferences these days. Who am I to judge? Good work S3C!!

S3C responds:

thanks buddy

[Wobble Room 2.0]

Really cool song. Loved those melodies. They were really well written and made the track fun. All the backround intangibles were sick and created a really dark vibe. Good atmosphere! Loved it.

[Demon Crypt]

I could hear that sexy kit through that filter in the beginning. Nothing gets my heart beating like a good old fashioned 170-180 BPM DNB rhythm melting into a track. Track had a really airy liquid vibe to it. That bass/pads were a little lo fi/uninteresting to me but they reminded me of some of the old moving shadow mixes done by Calyx. Google: moving shadow 05.2 to see what I mean. Loved that mix :)

This tracks all about that up tempo rhythm and it feels satisfying. Love it!!

S3C responds:

thanks man...ahh I think I understand the similarities between Calyx, one of the first DnB artists I heard, in GTA3.

[DV - Trauma]

hahaha, classy noises. Loved it. I just wish it went on for a bit longer. Short track.

la-yinn responds:

To be fair, I did want to continue on this one a bit further, a buddy of mine even freestyled some miraculous 'horror hop' lyrics to it when I played it back, but I lost the patches of the intro pads and the weird drop stabby things.. bit of a shame, but I've been working on lots of different stuff and this was a little bit of a joke anyways, there's some better stuff comin

thx for the comment :>

[Supercollide]

fuuuuuuuuuuuuck. This piece is the god damn tits. Monk all day. tits.

[Fall From Grace (Part 1)]

I loved the way you combed a few electronic elements in there. It looks like a lot of orchestral/cinematic artists in this tourney. Good to hear someone doing it a little differently :)
